I’m not saying I would have offered him a max contract. But there was absolutely no reason to trade him on his rookie contract. I believe the Chiefs had the leverage in this situation and they caved because the owner didn’t want the headache.

Marcus could have either played with max effort or hurt his market value by playing half assed.

Cause his play and disrespect to the coaches is a much bigger issue.

Bigger/smaller isn't the same as you saying it has nothing to do with it.

Chiefs had the leverage.

you don’t know that.

A move like this without a huge haul in return deserves an explanation to the fans.

Him playing half assed could cost us games. The way he approached stopping ball carriers was one of the most frustrating things I can remember seeing. I got off the trade Marcus bandwagon the last couple of games of the season but I was fully on board for a long time. It's one thing to be bad at something, it's quite another to not even attempt to do it. And seeing as how he kept doing it game after game, it's clear he wasn't listening to coaches which is the biggest issue.

And it's not like Reid is a 0 tolerance guy. For this to happen, he must have been at his wits end about Peters behavior in front and behind the scenes.

Randy Moss is comparable. Was it worth putting up with his bs antics.

The Chiefs played their best defensive game of the season against your Faid this season. 3 turnovers. 198 passing yards. 70 rushing yards. Oh, and Peters didn't play.

Meh. We have our franchise quarterback. If everything goes right with him, none of this will matter. None of this is even close to as damning then the Chiefs failing to draft a franchise quarterback for the last half century. They've made the one, most important decision that gives you a shot at a ring. They have my attention for the first time in quite a while and I'll give them the benefit of the doubt on this.

But drama is required, it seems.

GREAT comparison. Who even knows what he did after that trade?

Lol so Marcus Peters is one of the top 2 corners in league history? They're not comparable at all.

What in the **** is taking so long with the compensation?

He is one of the leagues best at creating turnovers. How do you suppose we replace that?

Peters is no Randy Moss
